Jeremy Howe, editor of The Archers, called working with June Spencer "one of the great privileges of my time at the BBC," celebrating her talent and impact on the show, noting that she performed as the ultimate matriarch of Ambridge.
He praised her skillful portrayal of Peggy Woolley, emphasizing her remarkable ability to deliver nuanced performances, capturing the essence of her character who dealt with serious issues like alcoholism and gambling.
Howe fondly remembered Spencer's exceptional professionalism, stating that he had only once heard her fluff her lines in all her years on the show and described her as an actress who could score a bullseye with a gently insulting cough.
He referred to her as the 'queen of the soap,' and reflected on her death as a significant loss for The Archers, marking the end of an era linking back to its inception.
